The bedside controller also includes a touch-sensitive display disposed within a surface of the housing and configured to display images and receive user input on the surface, a processor disposed within the housing, a communication module disposed within the housing, communicatively coupled to the processor, and configured to transmit and receive medical data, and a battery disposed within the integrally formed housing and electrically coupled to the touch-sensitive display, the processor, and the communication module. | 05-16-2013 |
| 20130120297 | Medical Measuring System and Method - A method of performing measurements on medical images with a bedside controller includes receiving, through a touch-sensitive display on the bedside controller, a user measurement input on an image displayed on the display, the user measurement input including a start point defined by a point of initial contact with the touch-sensitive display and an end point defined by a point of last contact with the touch-sensitive display. The method also includes selecting a measurement mode based on a shape of the user measurement input and calculating a measurement value associated with the user measurement input based on the measurement mode. | 05-16-2013 |
| 20130123616 | Medical Workflow System and Method - A method of conducting a medical workflow with a touch-sensitive bedside controller is disclosed. The method includes initiating a medical workflow using a graphical user interface on the bedside controller, positioning an imaging tool within a patient's body based on images captured by the imaging tools and displayed on the bedside controller, controlling the commencement and termination of a recordation of images captured by the imaging tool using the graphical user interface on the bedside controller, navigating through the recorded images to identify an image of interest using the graphical user interface on the bedside controller, and performing measurements on the image of interest using the graphical user interface on the bedside controller. | 05-16-2013 |
| 20140100440 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INSTANT AND AUTOMATIC BORDER DETECTION - The invention generally relates to medical imaging systems that instantly and/or automatically detect borders. Embodiments of the invention provide an imaging system that automatically detects a border at a location within a vessel in response only to navigational input moving the image to that location. In some embodiments, systems and methods of the invention operate such that when a doctor moves an imaging catheter to a new location with in tissue, the system essentially instantly finds, and optionally displays, the border(s), calculates an occlusion, or both. | 04-10-2014 |
| 20140176554 | Measurement and Enhancement in a Multi-Modality Medical Imaging System - Systems and methods for multi-modality data processing are provided. Some embodiments are particularly directed to enhancing and measuring multi-modality medical data. In one embodiment, a method for enhancing medical data in a medical processing system includes receiving, by the medical processing system, a reference set of medical data. The reference set of medical data may be display on a first user display. A region identifier, which corresponds to a region to be enhanced, is received along with an enhancement selection. A target set of data is identified based on the received region identifier and the received enhancement selection, and the medical processing system performs an enhancement corresponding to the enhancement selection upon the target set of data. The enhanced target set of data may be displayed on a second user display, the second user display being different from the first user display. | 06-26-2014 |
| 20140180721 | Data Labeling and Indexing in a Multi-Modality Medical Imaging System - Systems and methods for multi-modality data processing are provided. Some embodiments are particularly directed to labeling and indexing multi-modality medical data. In one embodiment, a method for labeling medical data received by a multi-modality medical processing system includes receiving, by the medical processing system, medical data to be labeled. A reference set of labels corresponding to the medical data is presented at a display device. A selection of a first label from the reference set of labels is received from an interface device. A target set of labels corresponding to the medical data is presented at the display device, the target set of labels based on the first label. A selection of a second label from the target set of labels is received from the interface device. The medical data is then labeled based on the first and second labels. | 06-26-2014 |
| 20140181716 | Gesture-Based Interface for a Multi-Modality Medical Imaging System - Systems and methods for multi-modality data processing are provided. Some embodiments are particularly directed to interpreting gesture-based commands in a multi-modality processing system. In one embodiment, a method for interpreting user input in a medical processing system includes receiving a state designator corresponding to a mode of operation of the medical processing system, where the mode of operation includes a value representative of a modality selected from the group consisting of: IVUS, OCT, pressure, and flow. A list of active commands is generated based on the received state designator. A user input sequence is received from one or more user input devices. The medical processing system correlates the user input sequence to a command of the list of active commands, and the command is utilized to control operation of a component of the system. The list of active command may include a subset of commands common to multiple modalities. | 06-26-2014 |
| 20140181717 | Measurement Navigation in a Multi-Modality Medical Imaging System - Systems and methods for multi-modality data processing are provided. Some embodiments are particularly directed to navigating sets of multi-modality medical data in a multi-modality processing system. In one embodiment, a method for navigating medical data in a medical processing system includes receiving a reference set of medical data by the medical processing system, where the medical data corresponds to a modality selected from the group consisting of: FFR, iFR, pressure, flow, IVUS, and OCT. The medical processing system also receives a navigation command. An enhancement and a subset of the reference set of medical data to enhance are identified based on the navigation command. The medical processing system performs the selected enhancement on the subset of data and the enhanced subset is displayed. The enhancement may include performing a single-axis zoom on the subset. | 06-26-2014 |
| 20140188503 | Multi-Modality Case Explorer System and Method - Generally, the present disclosure is directed to displaying patient medical data in a multi-modality medical processing system. The method and system described herein present medical data in multiple different modalities on a single user interface screen, allowing a practitioner viewing the user interface to manage all acquired data sets associated with a patient regardless of modality. As such, the amount of time a practitioner must spend reviewing patient medical data is reduced, leading to more efficient diagnosis and treatment. Further, multiple patient cases corresponding to different patients may be presented on a single user interface screen to simplify multi-patient case management. | 07-03-2014 |
| 20140188513 | Multi-Modality Selective Archiving System and Method - Generally, the present disclosure is directed to selectively archiving patient data in a multi-modality medical processing system. The method and system described herein selectively archive medical data at a patient case level, at modality data set level, and/or at an individual image level, so as to allow a practitioner to have a fine level of control over the specific data archived. Further, data sets in different medical modalities may be archived at the same time, and patient cases corresponding to different patients may be archived at the same time to increase archival efficiency. | 07-03-2014 |
